The Cape Coral Yacht Club Beach is now open: Officials and residents rejoice.

Cape Coral officially reopens the Yacht Club Community Park beach on Saturday, more than a year after Hurricane Ian shuttered the park, and residents are already taking advantage of it.

"This is a great day for our community," Mayor John Gunter said Thursday on the beach.

'Four hundred and eight days ago, we had an (almost) category five hurricane hit this area, and this area of our city was the hardest hit."

Kids and their parents will play together in the sand, while older residents lounge and soak up the sun once again at the reopened Cape Coral Beach.

Margie and Jerry Wright, two 70-year-old South Cape Coral residents, were sitting on their beach chairs on the sand, taking in the atmosphere of the hot day as they used to do pre-Ian.

"I've been going back three or four times a week," Wright said "Not having it was terrible."

Background on opening

Hurricane Ian struck Cape Coral on Sept. 28, 2022, delaying renovation plans for the Yacht Club Community Park and shutting down the beach.

Since that time, the city worked toward reopening the area and moving forward with the Yacht Club Master Plan. They experienced permit delays from the Army Corps of Engineers.

"We would have liked to have had this beach open many months ago, but only in the last few weeks, have we gotten the permit to do the beach renourishment.

What work was done at the beach?

Cape Coral announced it received the corps' OK to move forward on Oct. 30 and began the process.

Gunter and Councilmember Bill Steinke said the next day dump trucks carrying sand rolled into the area.

The following days were filled with heavy machinery combing through the beach and adding sand in areas that were lacking.

'"Like the mayor, said literally the sand was ready to be brought in the moment that we got the okay to do that," Steinke said.

What's open at the Yacht Club park?

While the main Yacht Club Ballroom building is closed, alongside the surrounding buildings and amenities, The Boathouse Tiki Bar & Grill Restaurant is open.

The surrounding parking lots are open, and temporary bathrooms are available to beachgoers.

The Boat Ramp remains closed.

What's next for the Yacht Club?

The city council discussed and gave direction for major overhauls to the future designs of the Yacht Club buildings and layout.

Steinke also added that the city is still awaiting permits from the Army Corps of Engineers and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for the marine-related improvements.

"As soon as that permit is available, we are ready to go to work and get those get that seawall done and get the docks put in so everybody can enjoy everything that they possibly can as soon as they possibly can, and then all the amenities will come next," Steinke said.

City of Cape Coral unveils updated plans for Yacht Club

CAPE CORAL, Fla. — With the Cape Coral Yacht Club reopening this Friday, we are getting a glimpse of what the rest of the yacht club could look like.

City staff provided an updated version of the Yacht Club Master Plan at Wednesday’s Committee of the Whole meeting. They provided two concepts.

Both add a second pier, a resort-style pool, and another restaurant. There will also be more parking. The plans show a three-story parking garage with more than 500 spaces. There would also be nearly 40 spaces for boat trailers. However, crews would have to take out the pickleball and tennis courts to make room for it.

The city manager said they will revisit these plans in January. This project is still in the design phase. There is no date set yet to take a vote on it.

You can look at the concepts the city staff presented at Wednesday’s meeting here .

The Cape Coral Yacht Club Community Park is preparing to undergo major construction as part of the Parks GO Bond improvement project. Closure of the entire Yacht Club Community Park, including the ballroom, beach, boat ramp, pier, pool, tennis courts, marina, and senior center, will begin on April 1.  

Closure of the park is required due to the extent of the construction and renovations taking place.  Most of the park’s programs will be relocated to other facilities during this closure

The renovation at the Yacht Club involves:

cape coral yacht club update

  • Replacing the seawalls
  • Replacing marina wet slips
  • Demolition of the harbormaster building
  • Demolition of the boat ramp
  • Relocation of utilities
  • Construction of a parking garage
  • Construction of beach restrooms
  • Construction of a new harbormaster building
  • Construction of a new boat ramp

While we understand closing the park will be an inconvenience to our residents and visitors, keeping portions of the park related to the aforementioned construction open would pose a safety risk to our visitors and residents that can be avoided by this temporary closure.   

Planned park improvements are based on the City’s Parks Master Plan and will transform the Yacht Club Community Park into a resort-style atmosphere.  Construction is expected to take approximately two years.   

The privately-operated Boathouse restaurant will remain open during construction. 

There will be a formal update to City Council on the Yacht Club Community Park construction and other Parks GO Bond projects in March.  Stay informed!  Check out the project website and sign up for the Yacht Club Project Newsletter online at   ccyachtclub.com .

‘Coastal’ design for Yacht Club center gets nod

By meghan bradbury - | mar 14, 2024.

cape coral yacht club update

The selected concept design. PROVIDED

Cape Coral City Council has agreed to go coastal for the design of the planned community center to replace the Yacht Club ballroom.

The majority of the elected board opted for a “coastal vernacular feel” during their workshop on Wednesday.

There were three design options on the table: The preferred option one with its Key West vibe; option two, intended to evoke the design of the current historic structure; and option three, a more modern look that received no support.

Mayor John Gunter and Councilmembers Dan Sheppard, Keith Long, Tom Hayden and Richard Carr opted for option one.

Those who preferred design two — a lodge-type look featuring wood or wood-type accents — included Councilmembers Bill Steinke and Jessica Cosden.

Councilmember Robert Welsh said he did not see a lot of differences between designs one and two and, although he liked the look of two, he could go with either.

The footprint, meanwhile, has been expanded to 47,000 square feet over two stories.

John Bryant, of Sweet Sparkman Architecture & Interiors, said as they worked on the floor plan of the new Community Center, they wanted to maintain that experience of coming into the entrance foyer and seeing the multipurpose hall. He said there is an experience and significance to the Cape Coral community to have that large multipurpose hall.

Each of the three options provide a general feel and vibe, he said, adding the actual design will evolve over the course of the months ahead.

The first design provides a feel similar to the park building they are doing at Lake Kennedy Center.

Bryant said the look and feel of the building has a Key West style with a deep overhang, articulation, and ornamental design.

The second option stemmed from the existing Yacht Club building. He said they have a lot of design materials with which to work as the existing space is 10,000 square feet compared to the planned 40,000- to 50,000-square-foot Community Center.

“This option likely will use more of a stone based, mid-century feel with some exposed heavy timber. There is an opportunity to further develop this option to have even more of the existing Yacht Club feel,” Bryant said.

There is probably not much of a cost difference between the first and second design options, he said.

“Either one can be designed within a similar construction cost,” he said, adding the second option could be a little more expensive.

James Pankonin, with Kimley-Horn and Associates, said one of the areas that came up during previous discussions was the area on the first floor of the Community Center.

They discussed the opportunity to program that portion of the building to have more functional space.

The revised Community Center floor plan now includes a total of 47,000 square feet, with the majority being on the first floor for 27,250 square feet and the remainder, 19,750, spread out on the second floor. The prior square footage was 37,000 square feet – 20,000 square feet on the first floor, and 17,000 square feet on the second.

The revised first-floor plan includes additional meeting space, storage and a small loading and receiving area on the side of the building. There is also more functional space on the pool deck and water.

Pankonin said the restroom, located on the pool deck, has a combined building for the beach area as well. The split level provides control access from the pool deck side with the beach restroom users needing a card to get into the pool deck.

With the combined plumbing and infrastructure, the structure grew in size. The pool deck level restroom also includes showers and changing facilities, which the beach entry side restroom does not.

Another change includes the pump building, with a corner including a lifeguard area big enough to allow a lifeguard table, or a small lifeguard administration office. This building, he said, is another control access to the pool area.

The second floor is largely the same in terms of use. The ballroom has been shifted out and there is a large open area looking over the multipurpose room on the second floor.

Pankonin said on April 2 there will be a public meeting regarding the design, with a follow-up on May 7. They are working on a 3D model of the site with the anticipation of presenting some of the views at the April 2 meeting.

City Manager Michael Ilczyszyn said they will begin working with Kimley-Horne on putting those renderings together to be brought out to the community to let them know what is decided for the park. He said when they send it to the design team after the community sees the vision for the plan, they can work the design to move it to the next steps to get the construction management team to begin managing it.

They will then come back to Council during a workshop to make an amendment to the contract for design elements for the structure.

The amendment is due to the new ballroom, Community Center, pool pump house, lifeguard stations and restrooms. It will come to Council right before its next hiatus, or when they return from hiatus.

It was brought up during public comment that the historic building of the Yacht Club should not be torn down and that it was not severely damaged by the hurricane.

Ilczyszyn said through extensive records request they found that there was a designation that the Yacht Club park, in its entirety, was designated as a historic area by the historical board.

“The structure itself is not, and was not,” he said.

As far as Hurricane Ian damage, Ilczyszyn said all the glass was broken, and there was ballroom roof damage and the electric circuit breakers that fed the ballroom were destroyed.

The ballroom building, built by the city’s founders, received designation by the state as an historic building last year.

According to the city’s insurance claim, hurricane-related damage to the ballroom building itself was estimated at $25,000.

New Cape Coral Yacht Club designs: Most on council like a coastal, Key West vibe

cape coral yacht club update

Given three different design options for the new Yacht Club Community Center , most of the Cape Coral City Council is leaning toward a coastal, Key West-flavor architecture.

At a committee of the whole meeting on Wednesday, the city sought direction from the council on a design direction for the outside of the community building.

"It's a concept, just like we do with anything else, and as we are designing, things may come up that we want to shift and be nimble (on)," said Cape Coral City Manager Michael Ilczyszyn.

James Pankonin with Kimley Horn, a consulting firm focusing on public and private developments, presented the information about the look of the community building.

Cape Coral's Yacht Club Community Park, which includes a yacht basin, tennis courts, a swimming pool, a ballroom, and a beach, has been a popular attraction and staple for the city since the 1960s but is set to undergo major renovations after Hurricane Ian delayed the original plans .

The current plans include a new two-story community center to replace the ballroom, removing the tennis courts, rearranging the area to accommodate a four-story parking garage, a new restaurant, and a new resort-style pool.

The city is also preparing for the demolition of the Yacht Club and its facilities in April as it awaits permits.

No estimates could be provided for the price of the new building.

"It will really come into how much of certain materials are needed and construction methods," Ilczyszyn said.

The city will have that information once they have 30% of the construction design.

Two public meetings for the designs are planned for April 2 and May 7.

After getting public input, the city will vote to amend its contract with Kimley Horn to approve all these changes.

The plan is to have these changes approved or introduced before the summer hiatus.

New Designs for the Yacht Club building

John Bryant with Sweet Sparkman Architecture and Interiors, a Sarasota-based design firm, said the goal with the new designs was to maintain the experience of the original Yacht Club.

The majority of the council preferred option one.

Design one:

Bryant described the first option as "coastal vernacular" and similar to the park buildings at Lake Kennedy and Yellow Fever Creek.

"So it's sort of informed by the current architectural work in 2024," Bryant said. "Kinda Key West."

Councilmember Dan Sheppard and Mayor John Gunter preferred option one.

Gunter said the design was the most pleasing for him.

Councilmember Keith Long liked option one and said he liked the Key West aesthetic.

Councilmember Tom Hayden liked option one.

Design two:

Option two is more informed by the current Yacht Club and would have a stone base and mid-century feel to it, according to Bryant.

"There's certainly opportunity to kind of further develop this option to have even more of the existing Yacht Club feel, but a different vibe, feel than option one," Bryant said.

He also said option two might be more expressive the closer they try to recreate the aesthetic of the old ballroom building.

Councilmember Jessica Cosden liked design two as it incorporated design elements of the old building though she lamented how similar it looked to the first design.

"I wish we could have done more, but I know it's hard with a two-story building, to make it look the same as a very unique one-story building.

Councilmember Bill Steinke said two would be his choice as well, but was wary of additional maintenance of natural wood products used in the design.

"As long as we can bring that aesthetic and keep the maintenance down, number two would be my choice," Steinke said.

Councilmember Robert Welsh said he could go either way, but he liked the look of two.

Design three:

This would be more contemporary and modern.

"Even with a more contemporary language, you can still have warmth, incorporating some wood elements and stone elements," Bryant said.

None of the council members expressed any favorability for the third design.

Inside the new community center

The Community Center will have an additional 10,000 square feet for a total of 47,000 square feet, a history room to remember the first ballroom building on the first floor, and more rooms for civic and community use on the first floor.

Additionally, the new ballroom has shifted slightly as the balcony area on the second floor has been expanded to wrap around the top of the building.
